according to substance abuse 'expert's and pdocs supposedly well versed in - who all suggest wellbutrin - ha!, it makes no sense re: my fairly long past history of cocaine use, BUT i'm now 100% SURE that dopamine in maois & i are done.
in tcas, *if i could still tolerate,* dopamine's GOT to be much more balanced w/ serotonin & norepinephrine (other than desipramine).
emsam somehow hits dopamine hard from outset. for only a VERY small minority of those posting here, you can easily see this by the side-effects they encountered, and that most are still struggling with at 4- 6 wks. or longer.
emsam (even moreso parnate) for me = speed, plain & simple. unlike perhaps (???) the majority of street-drug stimulant users, i hated speed - 2 times 30 yrs ago + ritalin trial of 2 mos., 3 yrs. ago, that i (not pdoc) stopped.
dopamine in maois - for me - case closed.
if all i want is a blast of speed, i'll just whip out a patch & put on for 1/2 hr. TOPS. would that be considered a relapse? kidding...or maybe...not.
